You can find the values for all referenced resources in the [`res`](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-demo/tree/master/MapboxAndroidDemo/src/main/res) directory. For example, see [`res/values/activity_strings.xml`](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-demo/tree/master/MapboxAndroidDemo/src/main/res/values/activity_strings.xml) for `R.string.*` references used in this example. The dependencies can be found [here.](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-android-examples/blob/main/app/build.gradle) The examples use View binding.
